It’s been a wild day. I intended to stay away from the news, but between Kimmel’s (supposed) return and the Tylenol batshittery, it was hard to do.

Cowboy’s expression sums it up.

I am really happy to announce the second paper from my PhD is now out!

The article employs a comparative analysis between US and Turkish based far-right groups, analyzing how constructions of power, efficacy and religiosity modify in-group dyanmics.

A very personal reflection on how the financial crisis at the University of Dundee is affecting PhD students.

Reduced teaching opportunities, financial difficulty and the cutting off of a route to employment.

Thank you Taylor for writing this.

Things at the University of Dundee are even worse than we @ducuuo.bsky.social thought: 600+ jobs to go to fixa deficit created by an unaccountable management.

My latest paper from my PhD is now in preprint!

The paper looks at a cross-culutral comparative analysis between an American and Turkish far-right group, and the impact power has on the dynamics of each group. #soicalpsychology #politicalpsychology

I am a third year PhD student at the University of Dundee looking at far-right online groups, specifically how they mobilize support for political violence, as well as their group structures, strategies and narratives.
